"Perhaps the best-known American diplomatist of this century, Henry Kissinger is a major figure in world history, winner of
the Nobel Peace Prize, and arguably one of the most brilliant minds ever placed at the service of American foreign policy,
as well as one of the shrewdest, best-informed, and most articulate figures ever to occupy a position of power in Washington."
"The third and final volume of his memoirs completes a major work of contemporary history. It is at once an historical document
and a narrative of almost Shakespearean intensity, full of startling insights, unusual (and often unsparing) candor, and a
sweeping sense of history." "Above all, here are intimate, candid, and sharply intelligent portraits of world leaders, from
Mao Zedong teasing Kissinger with a characteristic mixture of brutality and acerbic subtlety, to Leonid Brezhnev, confused,
unwell, desperately trying to conceal the Soviet Union's growing difficulties with a facade of blustering bravado, as well
as a galaxy of European, Middle Eastern, Asian, Latin American, and African leaders."--Jacket

"In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book-length to a country he has known
intimately for decades, and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape. Drawing on historical records as well as
his conversations with Chinese leaders over the past forty years, Kissinger examines how China has approached diplomacy, strategy,
and negotiation throughout its history, and reflects on the consequences for the global balance of power in the 21st century.
Since no other country can claim a more powerful link to its ancient past and classical principles, any attempt to understand
China's future world role must begin with an appreciation of its long history. For centuries, China rarely encountered other
societies of comparable size and sophistication; it was the "Middle Kingdom," treating the peoples on its periphery as vassal
states. At the same time, Chinese statesmen-facing threats of invasion from without, and the contests of competing factions
within-developed a canon of strategic thought that prized the virtues of subtlety, patience, and indirection over feats of
martial prowess. In 'On China', Kissinger examines key episodes in Chinese foreign policy from the classical era to the present
day, with a particular emphasis on the decades since the rise of Mao Zedong. He illuminates the inner workings of Chinese
diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and modern European powers, the formation and
breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing, and three crises in the Taiwan
Straits. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with four generations of Chinese leaders, he brings to life towering
figures such as Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, revealing how their different visions have shaped China's modern destiny.
With his singular vantage on U.S.-China relations, Kissinger traces the evolution of this fraught but crucial relationship
over the past 60 years, following its dramatic course from estrangement to strategic partnership to economic interdependence,
and toward an uncertain future. With a final chapter on the emerging superpower's 21st-century world role, 'On China' provides
an intimate historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of the 20th century"--

he created poetic photo essays of enormous and lasting impact. Drawing from Smith's own photographic archives and including
illuminating texts, this comprehensive volume features more than 350 superb duotone reproductions of both famous and never-before-published
